We’re a little hesitant to embrace some educational toys. Call us a little gun shy, but it seems like some manufacturers will slap the alphabet on a toy, call it educational and then watch parent purchase it. A friend of ours gave us the heads up on LeapFrog’s Fridge Phonics. Continue reading Daddy Mojo reviews: LeapFrog Fridge Phonics Alphabet Set

Baby shower gift ideas to get the Dad involved
Baby shower gift ideas to get the Dad involved sounds like a challenge akin to a camel fitting through the eye of a needle. Husbands who (mistakenly) attended one of their wedding showers may be under the impression that baby showers are as fraught with dangerously laced estrogen. Continue reading Baby shower gift ideas to get the Dad involved
The Chicken Thief is a children’s book, but we love it
We were in the library the other day when I stumbled across The Chicken Thief by Beatrice Rodriguez. It’s a funny shaped book that’s more rectangular than most, has a cute bunny on the back cover and Toddler Mojo was ready to go. As a toddler tantrum was about to happen I checked out and didn’t pay the book any attention until I got home. Continue reading The Chicken Thief is a children’s book, but we love it
A dad and the communication stages of the Toddler
The 17 month old toddler is a magical, highly excitable creature that still has trouble communicating to mom and dad. While the toddler’s point gets made, it lacks a certain finesse. In observing our toddler we’ve determined that a 17 month old has three forms of verbal communication: Chinese Baby, Bobcat Goldwaite and The Singing Frog, Continue reading A dad and the communication stages of the Toddler

As a parent, should you advise other parents?
Nobody likes people who butt into their business. They offer suggestions and voice their opinions when we may not want or need them. This can be especially true when it comes to parents and the style or manner in which they raise their children.
We encountered two situations recently where we didn’t say anything, but left possibly wishing that we should have.

Parents, runny noses, Boogie Wipes and DISCO!
The many benefits of cold weather are skiing, snowboarding and blue horizons pierced by pine trees that challenge the sky for height. Alas, if you’re a mom or dad who doesn’t happen to live in Colorado, then cold weather means runny noses, sick children and a yearning to be a parent in one of those mountain states.
A child with a runny nose is a disgusting thing. Your child with a runny nose is an angel that needs to have their nose wiped before they re-enact the movie Up with mucus bubbles. Continue reading Parents, runny noses, Boogie Wipes and DISCO!
Daddy Mojo’s favorite free iPad apps for toddlers
Baby Mojo is just 16 months but he loves to interact with the iPad. We’ve found a couple great apps that help teach him basic words and phonics. Verbally, we’ll teach him the sounds of the alphabet, but when he sees the letters we’re teaching him the phonetic pronunciation. All of these apps are free, but some of them may have additional aspects that you pay money for.
